Fuel Tank: Description and Operation

FUEL TANK




The 70-litre (18.5 gallons) fuel tank is a pressed steel construction. A two piece high density polyethylene shell (1, 3) encapsulates the fuel tank (2). The fuel tank is fitted immediately behind the rear seat and is accessed through the trunk. The fuel tank is held in place by two mounting straps and the fuel filler neck is attached to the vehicle body at the fuel filler opening, located in the rear right-hand quarter panel, with three fastening nuts. The fuel tank itself is not repairable and if damaged must be replaced.
